his stories are conceived A small re.
porters pad is his constant companion,
and on its leaves he jots down the plots
and heads of his stories, whether they

his love for the country led him to take
up his home in New Rochelle. lie

Gas Explosion and Result.

CHICAGO, Ills, Aug. By esterdsy
afternoon, In the basement Of the whole
sale clothing store OF Leopold Bros. &
Co.. one man was badly injured and an
other Is likely to lose his life. The gas
pipe under sidewalk had been leaking
and Patrick Gaffney and Daniel Carey
went into the basement for the purpose
OF locating the leak. Suddenly a loud
explosian was heard by which the
whole building was shaken. Between
the bricked up embankment Of the side
walk and the wall Of the building was
space Of about two feet wide and
as long as the building. Into this
space the gas had been escaping. When
the men came too close TO the wall
the escaping gas caught fire and this
ignited the large reservoir OF gas be-
tween the two walls and Is exploded
with such force as to throw the men
violently down and the wall upon them.
ID. Carey was revived without difficulty.
Gaffney was less fortunate and his inju-
ries are pronounced fatal. The explo-
sion Of confined gas displayed great
force, as 1t threw down brick wall 10
beet high and 80 feet long, hurting 1t
some distance and lifting paving stones
of the sidewalk.

A Close Call for the 800.

WILKEsBoRRo, Pa, Aug. 26-Three
hundred men employed at No. slope Of
the Susquehans Coal company at Nsnti-
cote, had a narrow escape with their
lives yesterday. This large array Of
men were engaged In mining coal
in the lowest vein in the mine
when great volume OF water
stored in one Of the upper veins
broke through into the gangway,
where the men were Rt work.
By aid OF electric alarms, the men all
through the mine were made aware OF
the danger in store for them and q rush
was made for the openings. All sue
ceeded in making their escape, but
many OF the older men and young boys
were knocked down and trampled upon.
Before the last man came out the water
had increased to thirty feet in depth In
the main gangway and some Of the men
had to paddle their way out. The mine
will not be able to resume operations
until the water can be pumped out,
which will take week or more. Ninety
mules persisted. The loss to the COM
pany will be considerable.

PRESS OPINIONS.

Macon Telegraph: There ought to
be a big boom in accidental insurance,
now that the railroads have undertaken
to exterminate the nation.
New York World: The party which
looks to land to relieve human misery,
have completed its organization, and the
state will now watch with interest those
who believe In water as the panaoe ca for
earthly ills.
Galveston News (Dem.): The propo-
sitiOn of a convention coming from pro-
hibitionists just now requires watchful
attention. II their party has come to
stay 1t will challenge democratic vigil
lance, especially at night.
Boston Post: Thus far Mr.. George has
shown himself possessed Of an organ
lied talent of no mean quality; but the
foundation of his work Is so flimsy that
1t seems impossible to carry 1t through
the canvass without going to pieces.
New York Sun: 81 believe have a
good fighting chance" says Mr.. Henry
George Of his prospects In the coming
campaign. Well, he has good chance
te fight, and q good opportunity to boom
himself. No wonder II he Is pleased

New York Mail and Express: Sooner
or later the republican policies toward
the South Americans will prevail and
then the United States will take a new
rank in power, in prestige, and In the
development Of home production and
foreign trade.
New York Herald: NJ. Tulcovitch has
explained to the Porte that when Prince
Ferdinand used the words "the inde-
pendence and liberty Of Bulgaria" he
meant no disrespect to the Sultan,
wbose obedient Vsssal he was. Tho
prinoely mind Is evidently OF Pick
wIokisn turn.
Boston Globe: The Russian papers
are advising the Gar to make things
warm for Prince Ferdinand. AS the
Russian papers never venture to advise
the Car until they have found out Just
how he wishes to be advised. 1t is pretty
certain that the autoorat means mischief
to Bulgaris's new ruler.
New York Times: Every American
recognizes as the only menace to public
order under free government the pres
ence In our population OF large and
imperfectly AmerioaniZed element,
which has been subjected to the
solution OF the great social and
political problems OF humonlty on the
stage Of the old world.
Boston Advertiser: 1t is already evil
dent that the tide OF feeling II growing
so strong against any free trade revision
| Of the tariff that no great fear need be
felt that any steps will be taken at the
coming session OF congress in that
direction. The entire deoadence OF the
talk to expel Mr.. Randall and his fol-
lowers from the party indicates that
| even the most radical free-traders are
appreoiating the turn In the tide.
Atlanta Constitution: But the south
entering upon new industrial career
1t 10 engaged in the work OF developing
resources that have lain dormant fol
many years; 1t Is engaged In building uT
| new towns and adding to old ones. Un'
| der all the circumstances 1t Is no won.

little favor here. Just at the present
the south, with its new enterprises and

Remarkable Surgery,

The science of surgery has made such won
derful progress in modern times, that the
most intricate and delicate operations are
now undertaken and carried to a successful
issue. There are now several well authenti-
Gated cases of what is known as pneumotony,
that is to say, the removal of diseased por-
lions of lungs in cases of consumption.
While, however, this delicate operation has
sometimes been successfully performed, the
risks attending it are so great, and the chances
of recovery so slight, that IL is seldom resort
ed to- The safest plan in consumptive cases
is to use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry. This will always cure the disease In its
earlier stages, thoroughly arresting the raw
ages or the terrible malady, by removing its
cause and healing the lungs.

poor porters with insufficient wages, and
compels them to levy a tax Of twenty
five cents each on men for boot blaoking

to be q power somewhere to fetch this
